[QUOTE="drmelb, post: 1303304, member: 216594"] [b]Mac mail not always sending since Lion[/b] I have many of the same problems mentioned in these threads and wondered if there are any other more recent solutions, I have tried all of the above several times. Deleting and setting up the account has worked a couple of times but then the problem recurs. I have no problem receiving. Most of the time the mail sends without a problem and then suddenly I find my outgoing in an OUTBOX the little wheel whirrs around and eventually I have a popup window telling me: [COLOR="Blue"][FONT="Arial Black"]Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.[/FONT][/COLOR] The SMTP server list states that I am offline. I have tried putting it online but with no success. This can last for up to 24 hours and then fixes itself for a few days. Very occasionally one little mail manages to squeeze out - I have no idea why. I am in China BUT this never happened before I installed Lion. It happens from the hotel where I live, from work and in other places I have visited. It happens with and without using a VPN. I have tried other ports that I have seen suggested on other blogs, that leaves me unable to receive or send mail. Please help me - this is driving me mad! [/QUOTE]
